Researchers convert atmospheric CO2 to carbon nanofibers and nanotubes for use as anodes in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries

Green Car Congress

Researchers from George Washington University and Vanderbilt University have demonstrated the conversion of atmospheric CO 2 into carbon nanofibers (CNFs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for use as high-performance anodes in both lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. times above that of sodium-ion batteries with graphite electrodes.

CO2-neutral hydrogen storage with a bicarbonate/formate system

Green Car Congress

Here, we describe for the first time the design of a reversible hydrogen storage cycle based on the redox system bicarbonate/formate. Bicarbonates are a component of many natural stones and are also commonly used as baking powder or sherbet (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO 3 ). Unfortunately, this has not yet been achieved.
